Freed hostage Mia Schem: ‘I experienced hell.’

Schem says she was held by a family that played mind games, withheld food, taunted her; man who operated on her arm — a veterinarian — told her ‘You’re not going home alive’ timesofisrael.com/freed-hostage-… “Her family said she has since developed epilepsy, from the trauma and the lack of sleep during her eight weeks as a hostage in Gaza.”

WSJ editorial blasts the retrograde Islamists of CAIR who are, far too often, welcomed openly as spokesmen for American Muslims Image Longtime CAIR chief Nihad Awad:

“And yes, the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves. And yes, Israel, as an occupying power, does not have that right to self-defense.” Image

This is Bernie Sanders’ ex-national press secretary.

Note the ease with which she throws around “Zionists” as an apparently damning accusation that she seems to believe speaks for itself.

Then note the dismissiveness of testimonies of rape.

This is progressivism in 2023. “Because he’s a Zionist.”

This is insane.

I tweeted this at 8:30am EST — 3:30pm Israel time — on Saturday, when so much was still unclear. The confirmed death toll at the time was 40 people.

We now know this was 8 hours into the onslaught, and that by this time the vast majority of the 1,300 killed were already dead. An hour later, once I had begun to put the pieces together and comprehend some idea of what was happening, I messaged my family this: Image

When Ken Roth has less sympathy for an obvious, textbook act of terrorism than the New York Times The initial NYT report managed to squeeze the word “occupied” five times into a short news report

This obvious, axe-grinding repetition comes despite the fact that both attackers and victims lived in East Jerusalem and not the West Bank

Messi’s World Cup victory a victory for Qatar too

“It is possible… to wonder whose idea it was, how long it has been planned and how much Messi, the most famous player on the planet who has signed a lucrative deal to promote tourism in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, knew about it.” Image “The manner in which the Emir presented Messi with the bisht on a platform in the middle of the stadium with billions watching at home was certainly unusual. Offering a polite no, or trying to take it off as he walked with the trophy towards his team-mates, was not an option.”

Good for Rep. Kinzinger. I'm surprised he hasn't been chased out of the GOP with MAGA hats and pitchforks. On CNN, Kinzinger just echoed ex-DC police chief Charles Ramsey in likening Trump to a "cancer."
